Loading Extensions[#](https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/extensions/latest/ext_core/ext_extension-manager.html#loading-extensions "Link to this heading")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Load an Extension[#](https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/extensions/latest/ext_core/ext_extension-manager.html#load-an-extension "Link to this heading")

Many extensions are provided on disk and can be loaded by simply selecting and enabling the extension of your choice.

### Autoload[#](https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/extensions/latest/ext_core/ext_extension-manager.html#autoload "Link to this heading")

Autoloading an extension will allow the extension to be started at startup by the application. For tools you use commonly it can be a benefit to auto-load, however tools you only use rarely should be enabled only when needed to conserve resources.

### Remote Extensions[#](https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/extensions/latest/ext_core/ext_extension-manager.html#remote-extensions "Link to this heading")

Remote extensions are extensions managed by NVIDIA and are offered through a remote service. This allows for the immediate installation and delivery of updates without the need to update the app itself.
